Io Language

NOTE: Due to heavy spamming I added a password. To edit a page use the "user" username and "kiwi" password. Thanks !

Io is a prototype-based language in which I gained interest while looking for an embeddable scripting language. I considered Scheme and Lua, and eventually found Io very promising.

While getting into Io, I started to write the following pages:

• IoLanguage, an unfinished presentation of the language itself
• ExtendTheLanguage, shows how easy it is to extend Io.
• GarbageCollection, describes how Io garbage collection is made. This is also useful for people embedding Io or using the ObjcBridge.
• ObjcBridge, is an introduction to the Io Objective-C bridge.
• PrototypesVsClasses, tries to collect information on the differences between protos and class

I also tried to contribute to Io with the following documents:

• ModuleSystem, a draft for a flexible module system. I even have a prototype implementation (available on request)
• DocumentationSystem, a draft for a documentation system.
• IoUnit, a draft for a unit test module, by Scott Dunlop

Later on, some other guy came and made the following pages:
